It's going to be hard to follow the record-breaking Alexander McQueen retrospective, but the Costume Institute and Metropolitan Museum of Art think they have the answer.

Rumor has it next year's exhibit will focus on the work of Miuccia Prada and Coco Chanel's biggest rival Elsa Schiaparelli!

Sounds promising.

What do U think???

So much for being fabulous and classy.

A new biography about Coco Chanel is hitting shelves this fall and the author makes some explosive claims about the fashion icon.

In Coco Chanel: An Intimate Life, biographer Lisa Chaney reveals Chanel did drugs, embraced bisexuality and had an affair with surreal artist Salvador Dalí while he was married.

And for anyone who challenges her claims, Lisa has the evidence to back it up — or so she says.

Sounds like a juicy read!

Emma Watson might be able to handle the hectic schedule of filming a hit movie, but when it came to touring Coco Chanel’s apartment, she found it “overwhelming.”

The 21-year-old starlet was recently flown to Paris by the fashion label ahead of a film premiere. And while in Paris she was taken to tour the place the Chanel founder called home.

Reveals Watson:

“My most glamorous moment was probably when Chanel flew me to Paris to try on premiere outfit. It was ridiculous — I went around Coco Chanel’s apartment! I found that really overwhelming.”

As for choosing the right outfit, Watson adds:

“It’s really weird, you just know when you’ve got the dress on. I’m like, right that’s it, no need to look any more, this is the one.”

We'd love to get a tour of Coco Chanel's's apartment!

French actress Audrey Tautou, who portrayed Coco Chanel in the biopic Coco Before Chanel, has moved on to another French designer.

At the Paris premiere of De Vrais Mensonges the former face of Chanel No. 5 wore a black and blue dress by YSL.

It's cute, but the dress looks a little too big for her petite frame.

Amazing!

While appearing Martha Stewart Show, Andre Leon Talley revealed that the HBOC (head bitch of crafts) modeled for Chanel!

And what makes this little factoid even more fabulous is that Martha modeled in the days of Miz Coco Chanel!

Sure it was for only one summer, but home many people can say they've been to jail AND modeled Chanel?

Ha!
